Ingredients
Cheddar Crust Dippers
- 2 (9-inch) refrigerated pie crusts
- 1 cup grated cheddar cheese (about 4 oz.)
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Soup
- 4 tablespoons salted butter
- 3 stalks celery, finely diced
- 2 medium carrots, peeled and finely diced
- 2 medium onions, finely diced
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme
- Pinch of turmeric
- Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ cup white wine
- 6 cups chicken broth
- 3 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
- ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
- ½ cup heavy cream
Step-by-Step Instructions
Step 1 – Make the Cheddar Crust Dippers
Preheat the oven to 375°F and line two sheet pans with parchment paper.
Unroll one pie crust on each pan. Sprinkle evenly with cheddar cheese and parsley, pressing lightly to help them stick. Bake for 12–14 minutes until golden, bubbly, and crisp. Set aside to cool.
Step 2 – Sauté the Vegetables
In a large pot, melt butter over medium heat. Add celery, carrots, onions, and thyme. Season with turmeric, salt, and pepper. Cook for 3–4 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften and release their aroma.
Step 3 – Build the Soup Base
Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir for 1–2 minutes to cook off the raw taste. Slowly pour in the white wine while stirring, then gradually add chicken broth. Stir well until the mixture begins to thicken slightly.
Step 4 – Add Chicken and Cream
Add shredded rotisserie chicken and parsley to the pot. Bring the soup to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to low. Stir in the heavy cream and simmer for a few minutes until thick and creamy. Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Step 5 – Serve and Enjoy
Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with the Cheddar Crust Dippers on the side. Break them into large pieces for dipping comfort food perfection!

FAQs
Can I use leftover chicken instead of rotisserie?
Absolutely! Leftover roasted or grilled chicken works beautifully in this recipe. Just shred it and add it during the final simmering stage.
What can I use instead of white wine?
If you prefer not to use wine, replace it with an equal amount of chicken broth for a similar depth of flavor.
Can I make this soup ahead of time?
Yes! The soup can be made up to 2 days in advance and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Gently reheat on the stove and add a splash of cream or broth if it thickens too much.
